Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has catalyzed an unprecedented transformation in interior design, generating new paradigms in the configuration of living spaces. This research analyzes the evolution of post-pandemic interior design, focusing on the integration of adaptive technologies and flexible solutions. Using a mixed methodological approach, the perceptions and experiences of teachers, students, professionals, and technology experts were studied through questionnaires, in-depth interviews, and focus groups. Results reveal a marked preference for multifunctional spaces and a strong correlation between spatial adaptability and well-being. The implementation of smart technologies shows high adoption rates in air purification systems and automation. Conclusions highlight the emergence of a new paradigm where technology, adaptability, and human well-being converge, establishing higher standards of spatial flexibility and resilience. The research emphasizes the importance of harmonious integration between technological innovation and human needs in contemporary interior design.
